Dick Higgins would have been proud!

this is a performance.

June-July [2021]

this is a performance.’ is a conceptual Crypto-Happening on the Hicetnunc a.k.a H=N NFT platform.

The performance consists of ‘minting’ artwork in real-time while the audience tries to catch a glimpse amongst the bustling and vibrant creative blockchain sphere.

All works from the performance will be available for sale as 3/3 editions to those lucky enough to snag a piece or if they even want to get a piece. The performance continues with ‘swapping’ where the price will be randomly changed on a daily basis until all pieces are sold. Any pieces that do not sell will be performatively ‘burned’.

About:

I am an Intermedia artist that goes by the name of [ a y s h ] and my practice spans a multitude of techniques like building performative sculptures, latex modelling, digital art, moving image, VR world-building, printmaking, installation, web-based and Livestream/VR/Crypto-performance art and Blockchain NFT culture.

Mainly focusing on the use and merging of high- and low-tech production methods where all methods are explored and experimented. Within my video work, I use aesthetic ‘corruption’, glitch, 3D modelling software, generative, greenscreen, AI and data-bending to merge Sci-Fi and mythology with the interplay of both sides of technology by mixing the digital with analogue techniques.

My works have been shown in Venice, Italy, The Festival of Contemporary Art in Athens, Ely Centre for Contemporary Art, USA, Screen-print Biennial, USA, Transcultural Exchange in Boston, Dfbrll8r Gallery at Zhou B Art Centre in Chicago, Taos Centre for the Arts, New Mexico, Hidden Door Festival, Edinburgh, Glasgow International Art Festival, Performance Køkkenet, Copenhagen, Zembla Gallery, Scotland, Noemata/#biennale.no, Bangkok Biennial, Thailand, Galerie XY, Olomouc, Czech Republic, MoWNA Biennial, New York and many virtual exhibitions.

During the summer of 2019, I developed [SHIFT:ibpcpa]; an independent performance art biennale which, in association with The Wall Space Gallery, showcases the work of international artists using web-based Crypto, VR and Livestream technologies.

As well as curate shows, I love collecting NFT and Crypto artworks from a variety of Blockchain platforms and cryptocurrencies. My interest in NFT and Crypto Art stems from the decentralised nature and accessibility the space offers where my overall curiosity lays in what the space could evolve to become for society as a whole and artists working across a variety of mediums.

I currently live and work in the virtual paradise realm.
